Really now? Invincible packages. Or do these get re-installed by the sudo apt-get install -f -y? Probably. Sorry, it's late here, I'm tired, not thinking straight. But the important question is whether you still get the error messages?

Those just remove residual configuration, not packages, and removing kernels via Update Manager does not leave any behind.

Heh, true that. I think I definitely made a mistake continuing to give you that install -f command though, I was dead tired yesterday. Please confirm by running doing that last bit from yesterday without that part.

First (I don't need the output):

Code: Select all

sudo rm -fv /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-extra-4.4.0-112-generic.* /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-extra-4.4.0-116-generic.* /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-extra-4.4.0-119-generic.* /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-extra-4.4.0-121-generic.*
and then (I'd like the output):

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq --force-depends linux-image-extra-4.4.0-112-generic linux-image-extra-4.4.0-116-generic linux-image-extra-4.4.0-119-generic linux-image-extra-4.4.0-121-generic
and finally this (yes please to the output):

Code: Select all

dpkg-query -W -f '${Package}\n' | grep "^linux-image-extra"
Fingers crossed.

I'd really like to see the output of the second set of commands please though. Do just a single one to make it shorter:

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg --remove --force-all linux-image-extra-4.4.0-112-generic

Oh weird. That would work on my system, must be another Mint 17 thing. Let's comply, what happens if we --purge instead:

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg --purge --force-all linux-image-extra-4.4.0-112-generic

my wifi is not working at all. is not even an option in the network manager. it has stopped since yesterday when i check the driver manager there is nothing there. Should I consider upgrading to Mint 18 or 19?

We can fix the wifi after we cleared up this mess with the broken kernel packages. We'll just update to the latest kernel 4.4 then and I have a feeling your wifi will start working again. An upgrade to Mint 18 or 19 is something to consider separately, but don't rush that, test it out in a live environment first to make sure it's actually compatible.

So all it wanted was purge, not remove? Cute. Let's do the other three as well then:

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg --purge --force-all linux-image-extra-4.4.0-116-generic linux-image-extra-4.4.0-119-generic linux-image-extra-4.4.0-121-generic
After that you can hopefully remove the rest with the command I originally gave:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get purge --autoremove -y linux-image-3.16.0-38-generic linux-image-3.19.0-32-generic linux-image-4.4.0-109-generic linux-image-4.4.0-112-generic linux-image-4.4.0-116-generic linux-image-4.4.0-119-generic linux-image-4.4.0-121-generic linux-image-4.4.0-124-generic linux-image-4.4.0-127-generic linux-image-extra-3.16.0-38-generic linux-image-extra-3.19.0-32-generic linux-image-extra-4.4.0-109-generic

Oh, someone shoot me, I need to take a Mint 17 course. First this then:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get purge -y linux-image-3.16.0-38-generic linux-image-3.19.0-32-generic linux-image-4.4.0-109-generic linux-image-4.4.0-112-generic linux-image-4.4.0-116-generic linux-image-4.4.0-119-generic linux-image-4.4.0-121-generic linux-image-4.4.0-124-generic linux-image-4.4.0-127-generic linux-image-extra-3.16.0-38-generic linux-image-extra-3.19.0-32-generic linux-image-extra-4.4.0-109-generic
If that works, then:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get autoremove -y

Re: Help! Can't update software with update manager

Post by gm10 »

Haha, is your stamina still holding? This is certainly the most annoying case of this I've run into so far. By rights this should have started working again already but there's probably something Mint 17-specific that I'm missing. So let's just stick to what we know works. We're nearly there, anyway. Do:

Code: Select all

sudo rm -fv /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-extra-4.4.0-124-generic.* /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-extra-4.4.0-127-generic.*
then

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg --purge --force-all linux-image-extra-4.4.0-124-generic linux-image-extra-4.4.0-127-generic
and:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get autoremove -y
finally:

Code: Select all

dpkg-query -W -f '${Package}\n' | grep "^linux-"
Give me the output of only the last two. ;)

Re: Help! Can't update software with update manager

Post by gm10 »

Excellent. So I *think* we can now go back to normal ways of removing these? Please say yes. :lol: Let's try with one of them for now:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get purge -y linux-image-4.4.0-109-generic
If that works, and only then, do the rest of the list:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get purge -y linux-headers-3.16.0-38 linux-headers-3.16.0-38-generic linux-headers-3.19.0-32 linux-headers-3.19.0-32-generic linux-headers-4.4.0-109 linux-headers-4.4.0-109-generic linux-headers-4.4.0-111 linux-headers-4.4.0-111-generic linux-headers-4.4.0-124 linux-headers-4.4.0-124-generic linux-image-3.16.0-38-generic linux-image-3.19.0-32-generic linux-image-4.4.0-109-generic linux-image-extra-3.16.0-38-generic linux-image-extra-3.19.0-32-generic linux-image-extra-4.4.0-109-generic
If that also works, do this one again:

Code: Select all

cd /lib/modules
LISTFILE=/tmp/clean_module_dirs.txt
dpkg-query -W -f '${Version}\n' 'linux-image-[^g]*'|sort|uniq -u|sed -e 's/\~[^~]*$//' -e 's/\.[^.]*$/-generic/'> $LISTFILE
comm -2 -3 <(ls) <(sort $LISTFILE) | xargs -r sudo rm -rv
rm -v $LISTFILE
and then I actually think we're done with the clean-up.

After that it's time to install the latest kernel:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo install linux-generic-lts-xenial linux-image-generic-lts-xenial linux-headers-generic-lts-xenial

Don't make it sound like I have any idea what I'm doing here. :lol:

I think it worked, but the lazy way to confirm is to just run the command again, it should fail saying that the package is not installed. In that case then run all the rest above.
